Hi all, I've searched high and low for the answer, but no one seems to have my exact problem and I'm hoping someone can help me out. Every time I open OBS and run a game, my wifi disconnects (it's a Linksys A3000 adapter, drivers are up to date). I'm running on an AW Auror R3, fresh back from the repair shop with a new fan. I've got to upgrade memory, but for now there's ~250 GB left over.
Yes, before anyone says it I know I shouldn't be using an adapter for streaming, but since I'm doing local recording only, I figured it'd be alright for the time being. The recordings will start/stop fine, and don't appear to be corrupted during playback.
After the wifi jams, I'll try to close OBS (sometimes this crashes the program and requires a forced restart, sometimes it closes fine)--in either case, I can't reconnect my wifi (via unplugging/replugging or troubleshooting) until I restart the computer. Obviously this is an issue if I'm going to be recording any sort of MMO or co-op games (which I plan to). So far, the order seems to be this:
TIA.

- Start up OBS and run game
- 5 minutes in, adapter is no longer detected by the computer and the internet shows as "disconnected" (NOTE: the connected light is still on in my adapter)
- I'll close OBS. Depending, it'll either freeze my entire system and require the task manager, or it'll close normally on its own.
- I restart the computer (which can take >5 minutes. this long restart process happens ONLY with OBS)
- Upon restart there's a BSOD or general bugginess with my startup processes.
TIA.
